Hi gents
I know that there is at least a zillion things that won’t work but a few additions.
I know that there is at least a zillion things that won’t work but a few additions.
- There is probably 6 different intake gaskets...only one will work on an 817 head
- Inch and a quarter ARP bolts need to be 1.125 long
- ARP intake bolts need to have the threads chased
- The small metal exhaust block plates won’t work on the head side or the manifold side with standard thickness gaskets.
- After you screw around with all the various “won’t work” iderations you need to chase the threads in the heads.
- I’m sure there are more.
- As a side note the local NAPA got me a Z intake gasket, by mistake, damn is that thing HUGE maybe 300 cc’s or more!
- See attached.
